> [@boardjnky4](#): > > it’s more amazing how much faster it feels than the same speed in a car Ya. He let me drive and it blew my mind how fast stuff approaches you.

This is a friends boat up in Canada. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/teels67/Boat%20and%20beach%20pics/BoatandBeachpictures34.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/teels67/Boat%20and%20beach%20pics/BoatandBeachpictures34.jpg) Anyway, I’ll probably be out on my buddy’s Jet Ski tomorrow late morning. ---
